Because I really wanna know. And perhaps my fellow forum stalkers care too. I see you, Vittos the Apathetic! As well as others I haven't seen grace these parts in entirely too long.

What have you all been doing lately? A quick update would be appreciated!

This summer I:


took my kids to a music festival/camp-out
camped in the pouring rain for a week
went to a pow-wow (only one so far, sad)
got divorced, moved, am loving new apartment
fell in love, planning a move to Montreal


Unfortunately, completing my 3 credit research paper on time is not going to make that list of 'dones'. Shit.

Well....my father had a heart attack, and, probably a stroke a few days ago.

That count?

Well....my father had a heart attack, and, probably a stroke a few days ago.

That count?

Yes, and sorry to hear it, regardless of your relationship with him.

I've had a photo I took shown on a local TV channel at least twice.
I'll be moving to Erdenheim in a month for school..

Yeah, I've got nothing.

My mother just had a hysterectomy, let's be friends.

I've been writing my thesis... and dealing with the fact that my hard drive died on my laptop.

She shoulda had an abortion.

Ba dum dum chhhhhh...

What's your thesis on? Loosely, if you don't want to divulge too much.

Also, I hope your drive is revivable.

whats up with law school?

Finally got the degree I've been working toward (and should have finished half a lifetime ago), and am now looking for a job and an apartment with absolutely no success yet.

What's your thesis on? Loosely, if you don't want to divulge too much.

Molecules in asymptotic giant branch stars (in a sentence).
Basically I've been writing a program to generate a bunch of model line lists for a large number of molecules so they can be quickly compared to bands in the infrared spectra of highly evolved stars which haven't been associated with a particular molecule yet.

Also, I hope your drive is revivable.

Oh no, it's toast. Fortunately I do most of my work work on my desktop in my office (I do some work on the laptop, but it usually gets transfered back over to the desktop) and I've only had that computer since January, so I'm mostly out a lot of pictures (which sucks), some presentations, a rough draft of a poster and the fact that I installed gentoo which was a pain to install and took like two days of solid work which I get to redo once apple returns my computer.

whats up with law school?

One more year to go, funding has been a bitch, still working on it. I'm probably going to have to do an extra year in Montreal since Quebec is the only civil law jurisdiction in Canada, and my degree is only good in the rest of the common-law provinces/territories. Bonus is then I'd have a common-law/civil-law degree which few lawyers in Canada do.

Sucks having no one to support us in the meantime, but not being stuck with jerkface is still better.

A degree in what?

I started an exercise program to get my lard ass into shape, and I've lost nigh 15 pounds in a month. Most of it is probably water, but 15 pounds is 15 pounds.

Oooh, what did you major in?

Ahhhhh science *asplodes*

I'm off to college in less than 30 days. :D

o.

so different from US law school that i dont understand what you said. (not that i want you to explain it)

Oooh, what did you major in?

Theatre. Yep, I majored in a field with a 95% unemployment rate. It's quite likely the only lines I'll be saying professionally are "Welcome to Wal-Mart."

I started an exercise program to get my lard ass into shape, and I've lost nigh 15 pounds in a month. Most of it is probably water, but 15 pounds is 15 pounds. Awesome!

I lost 25lbs in about um...three, four months? Just portion control. I need exercise to tone now.

You guys have Louisiana to our Quebec. If I moved there, I'd have the same problem I'm facing.

Went to Venezuela, found love, came back, working on love. Also, playing lots of basketball, and planning to go back to Venezuela in December, with my love. :D

Awesome!

I lost 25lbs in about um...three, four months? Just portion control. I need exercise to tone now.

Yeah, portion control and exercise were my problems. I was eating the right things, but I was eating way, way too much of it. Now, I measure my caloric intake much more. I pay alot more attention to serving size when I'm buying things at the store. But I still get hungry occasionally. i found that a few bites of nonfat, 80 calorie per half cup cottage cheese tackles any lingering hunger.

I also bought a bike and I ride about 2 miles to and from class every day. I also am pumping iron 3 times a week. I feel so much better now that I'm active.

Well...at least you get an employee discount!

See, silver lining on ever cloud.

I lost 15 in one week :p


Its called the gringo virus. :)

Nothing like a good Gastro-Intestinal disease to lose a few pounds. I wonder about these people spending thousands on weight loss pills and miracle diets when a glass of Mexican water will do the same thing for free.

Have you learned any Spanish yet?

Damn you bloody northern hemispherians with your summer :( I don't like been cold...

only 24 degrees here today... brrrrr

Yeah, 24 Celsius -- 75 Farhenheit. Up here, that is summer.

Working at my stupid job, looking for a new job, considering just being crazy and trying to move to the east coast and hope to find a tolerably-paying job and cheap apartment there before my friends get sick of letting me sleep on their couches. :tongue:

That's pretty much my life at the moment.

Right now, the wife and kids are in Pennsylvania visiting her parents for a week.

I've been mostly working, practicing my new summer clowning skill(expanding my magic routine) and landscaping. We're in an area of tall scrawny young trees and I have been busy thinning them and replanting new ones and evergreens so they'll grow wider and provide more shade. In addition, this property used to be adjacent to an old junkyard so I'm finding ancient glass bottles and metal cans gone almost completely to rust. It's a lot of work clearing that crap out.

I'm also making preparations for the Mud Bowl Championships 2009. I wouldn't miss it. :)

I've been getting my life straightened the fuck out. Plans abound. Parties are imminent. There has been much guitar playing.

Right now, the wife and kids are in Pennsylvania visiting her parents for a week.

What part of PA?

*hires bodyguard*

Lots of work, a few concerts, lots of hanging out, a fair amount of reading, a little video games thrown into the mix, looking for tattoo ideas and artists...nothing too exciting.

Mostly been working, but I also did take a few classes earlier on in the summer.
Moving into a new house with three of my friends tomorrow. (Well, technically today, but only by 30 minutes.)

What part of PA?

*hires bodyguard*
Lancaster County. Amish Country. Her parents moved there two years ago. No, they're not amish. :p

Oh, and don't worry, only my oldest, Little Goofball is a threat. The twins aren't quite mobile enough yet.

I graduated and wrote lots of applications for internships with various investment banks. GS actually flew me down to Sydney the other day to meet a few people and do a second interview. Then the HR lady called me to say that yesterday they didn't have time to all get together and decide and that she'd call again today. She hasn't and I assume that means I didn't get the position, so now I'm quite unhappy and come up with one reason after another why I'm not good enough. :(

I've been testing people's knowledge of Canada's age of consent laws.

Visiting family in California.

Getting bored with US politics.....

I've been testing people's knowledge of Canada's age of consent laws.
Was 14 ....now it is 16......what is to test?

Because I really wanna know. And perhaps my fellow forum stalkers care too. I see you, Vittos the Apathetic! As well as others I haven't seen grace these parts in entirely too long.

What have you all been doing lately? A quick update would be appreciated!

Enduring my future in-laws.
Don't get me wrong, they're a lovely couple. Sweet as can be. But they're about the age of my grandparents, and I found that people at that age take more patience that I can come up with for nearly 3 weeks straight.

But now we've got the house back to ourselves!!! Yay!!!
*looking forward to having her fuckbuddy round again and having a nice little orgy on the sofa*

I just finished cycling from John O'Groats to Lands' End.

nothing. seriously, nothing. working is about all i can remember... had a nice day at the beach last weekend though :)

Glitzi's been away on holiday with her family :(

and i lost about 5 pounds in just under 2 weeks, with a combination of wii fit, DS health coach, a tiny bit more exercise, and smaller portion sizes, but then regained it all in 2 days of mild binge eating :headbang:


I just finished cycling from John O'Groats to Lands' End.

:eek2: no way... that's awesome!

-I'm getting paid to play football now (which just sort of happened and I'm not sure how:confused:)

-I'm currently on an apprenticeship working at a Nursery (who would of thought that at 18 I would be working below minimum wage with 15 kids calling me dad?)

-I went to work today forgetting it was a day off

-I'm still waiting for my exam results and can't sign up for any part-time courses until they are done :(

Well:
- just found out I can get a bursary for my travels to South America from my dad's Secret Society of Businessmen or whatever
- still unemployed, but that might change one day. In the meantime I will be claiming Jobseeker's allowance, must say I never thought I would have to
- bought Road Rash II for the Mega Drive and I am loving it
- going to Auto Assembly tomorrow. WOOO

I got back from holiday a few weeks ago, and since then I've been:

*learning to drive
*looking for work/living off JSA
*working on music stuff that I do with some friends, trying to get some gigs.
*usual other stuff people do
*going on NSG

Damn you bloody northern hemispherians with your summer :( I don't like been cold...

only 24 degrees here today... brrrrr


Thats a nice day... my current temp at my computer was 4 degrees (celcius) before i noticed and put on a jumper and the heater...

4 degrees (celcius) before i noticed and put on a jumper and the heater...
what :s

4 degrees for me... would be like... Well, you know that feeling when at 5am in the morning, you jump into a very cold pool, fully clothed, strip off and then stand in the wind with people making fun of the size of your penis?

Suck crap Northern Hemispheroids!!!! :)

-I went to work today forgetting it was a day off

Oh lawl.

Bits of nothing, trying to write a story, trying to finish the reading I have to do for school.

Well trying to get my life together:

Really starting to look forward to the fact that I move into my new place in just over 5 weeks! Woop!

Well...um...not much really. Mostly just getting myself physically and mentally ready to go to boot camp.

Damn you bloody northern hemispherians with your summer :( I don't like been cold...

only 24 degrees here today... brrrrrLet's trade.

Still in med school... thankfully...

Yeah, 24 Celsius -- 75 Farhenheit. Up here, that is summer.
Down here, that's around the lowest temperature we can get. And that can send us into our cold weather gear.

I have also managed to PASS my college course

This year i've been doing a Diploma of Education because my last degree wasn't getting me anywhere. So yeah, i've been training to be a high school teacher. I've worked in a school for a month and a half earlier this year and i'm about to go back to a different one in a weeks time. It's kinda fun at times. But scary. And its lots and lots of work and stress.

On top of that i'm still working part time at the same supermarket I was at 4 years ago, which is shit, but education doesnt pay for itself.

Various other stuff. Not a lot has really changed from a year or two ago.

- still unemployed, but that might change one day. In the meantime I will be claiming Jobseeker's allowance, must say I never thought I would have to

*looking for work/living off JSA


posting on NSG on my tax moneys!?! *forms lynch mob to chase the Vagabonds out of town*

Oh lawl.

its the second time I've done it :tongue:

Well...um...not much really. Mostly just getting myself physically and mentally ready to go to boot camp.

jacking off and getting pissed?

you can fail college?:eek:

why not just give up and settle for mediocrity :cool: (pays better too)

why not just give up and settle for mediocrity :cool: (pays better too)

Doesn't. Mediocrity is earning me around $10k a year. Teaching will get me over 5 times as much. I guess i'm sucking it down for the man. :P

Haven't done much, but my achievements that I'm somewhat proud of or am pleased that I managed are:

- Drew a fancomic for one of the more popular webcomics I read and it got put up.
- Finished the bloodiest presentation ever and got a very good grade.
- Saw Obama in Berlin. Was whelmed (I can do this, seeing as I am in Europe).
- Got a job with the university for next semester that essentially means that I will be paid for speaking English with a group of people.

You CAN be subversive as a teacher you know:)

Muscle building, endurance training, and math and science reviews, actually.

You CAN be subversive as a teacher you know:)

True. I'd rather teach my students to think for themselves though...oh wait, I guess that is subversive after all... :p

let's see..playing video games,writing,listening Mos Def and my granddad had surgery this morning

Sadly enough, it's still extremely subversive, yes.

WhatwhatWHAT?
:eek:
You were digging for beryl, right? Clawhanded and all, no respirator? Is that the kind of avaricious love you speak of?

....

You're banging a 16 year old?
Probably not that so much as soliciting online as a 15-year old girl?

Moi? Nothing useful. Other than learning some incredibly intimidating things about birthing children, promotion at work, moving out of my apartment, numbness on about 1/3 of my body for some reason, good reading, ferrets, and the usual, really. Finally a couple real summer days, too.

Well, I just got out of jail and the house arrest that followed. I also applied for a bunch of jobs at various places, and I'm going back to college to obtain more debt on top of the $70,000 I already owe the hospital from a couple of months ago...

So yeah. Life's been crap lately. ^_^

Have you learned any Spanish yet?

I knew Spanish before I left. Have a better grasp on it now. :)

You have quite the imagination, sir.

A girl that went on the trip with us...I had liked her at one point, tried to forget about her for whatever reason, and after all the time with her on the trip I can't stop thinking about her! It's driving me crazy! :D

I'm taking my annual summer road trip to see some minor league baseball with my dad for about a week, then I'll be starting my grad degree part-time while working as a full time office manager at an electronics and appliance retailer. The difficult thing is just trying not to go psycho with pressure from work and school.

:p

You have quite the imagination, sir.Tell me about it. At least two other incarnations of it are plodding around these premises at various hours.

Have fun. Bring lots of butter for the popcorn, so you can smear it places.

Muscle building, endurance training, and math and science reviews, actually.

I hear that Navy basic training is pretty easy, all things considered. I have a good friend thats a Corpsman with the 2nd Marines in Iraq right now, and he definitely gave the impression that it wasn't bad at all.

Have you called them back? I'm sure they wouldn't mind you showing that you're very interested in the position.

I haven't been doing much...

Apart from going on vacation and working on my tan in Cannes, France, and Monte Carlo, Monaco, It's been mostly business as usual at work. You know, destroying lives and breaking up families.

Managed to land myself a small promotion, though :wink:

Did a crapload of summer homework
Currently working on my Extended Essay
Contemplated hitchhiking to Montreal to see a girl I haven't seen in 4 years
Met with recruiters from the armed forces

And that's pretty much it.

Have you called them back? I'm sure they wouldn't mind you showing that you're very interested in the position.
I might do it on Monday. As it is I think my main problem was being too slow to grasp that they didn't have any currency trading at all in Sydney, since it's all done in Singapore, HK and Tokyo. So me presenting myself particularly in the direction of trading didn't help when they really wanted someone in sales (ie talking to the various hedge funds and corporate clients as the connection between them and the actual trading desks).

Hell, I'm not entirely sure I'd want to work in sales...the bad thing about it is the hurt pride of another person having been selected. And obviously that working for GS would have been an incredibly sweet deal.

Anyways, I've still got another line running, I'm going for psychometric assessment for a risk management internship with another high profile bank. And that would be anything but boring these days. :tongue:

Well, see, I'm starting out from being a 241 pound completely muscle-less(more or less in terms of any real strength, anyway) fatman just last October or so. So I've got some catching up to do on the regard.

And the math and science stuff is due to my going into the nuclear program.

Thats a nice day... my current temp at my computer was 4 degrees (celcius) before i noticed and put on a jumper and the heater...
You're in Melbourne and you didn't notice that the temperature in your room was 4°C? Dude, you have a problem.

- Saw Obama in Berlin. Was whelmed (I can do this, seeing as I am in Europe).
If whelmed means underwhelmed, I agree.

Wait, that was you? So you're, what, three people in the region? Of course I totally forgot which nation it was, hmph. Also: go get it checked out already!

Meh, their loss. Screw them.

nah - i dont get cold often...
i was at my computer - got gamers hands...

i did notice it wasnt warm... but i didnt realise how cold it was till i got up and looked at the thermostat :)

Sounds good. Best of luck with all of that :wink:

I went on a 23 day trip to Europe in June. I went to orientation for USF late in July and got my schedule for the fall semester. Yesterday I went to a cardiologist and they did an echo because my EKG was abnormal and I've been dizzy a lot lately and my brother has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, mitral valve prolapse, and a dilated aorta. Tomorrow I'm going with my family on a trip to Disney Quest and Cypress Gardens. My parents' 25th anniversary is coming up. I'm moving out to live in an apartment on campus at USF on August 20.

Guess that's pretty much it for this summer...

Hmm.. I got a few games, am about to turn 14, and.... Umm... Yeah, that's about it. If only every month was like that. *Sighs*

Get away from me, kid.

Worked for 8 weeks.
Failed 3 out of 11 modules in college(well, I didn't do that over the summer, but I found out about it)
Set about doing stuff that will allow me to pass and get into 2nd year anyway.

been getting into Joomla in a big way. woo open source software!

SNIP

pfft your joining the US navy

buy a roll of toilet paper, cigarettes, some wet wipes and duct tape pronto and you should be set :wink:

It's the harsh realities of the real world :wink:


Oooh, and on Thursday we were found not to violate human rights with our actions. (In the ECHR.) Sure, that was just one case, but we still celebrated with cake! :tongue:

you got paid to do that :confused:
As is traditional in the capitalist world we live in, I provided labour in exchange for money.

Bitch, how do you have an avatar?

You're mom's #1 ... and you know it! :D

Nothing new here, Just a lot of RL going on.

Going in Monday. My guess is it's blood-related, which is a good enough reason to go in. Whereas, i have had other problems with my nerves in my fingers (have to smack them against doors and walls to "turn them on" in the morning ... else they're stupid hands for a while. At first i thought it had something to do with that.
Also - under your name there ... what does "." mean, exactly? :p

I did my same old busy busy busy stuff and I got to plan one badass funeral!

I think my summer's been fulfilling even without the annual trip to FL.

I'm still over worked and underpaid and am currently trying to get into W.C. Imperial Court's pants.

*hugs Smunkee*

Boy do I ever hear you....well with the exception of trying to get into court's pants....it's more like anyone's pant at this moment for me. :P

Last week I stood on a street corner wondering where I was going to sleep. It's more than a little sobering, really makes you take a good long look at your life.

I don't know but I upgraded it to "°". ;)

I quit my job recently. Tis a great a feeling. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially the feeling when your boss goes "Now, I know you're leaving, but will you try not to tell people you're going to get the work done by X date.... especially with that grin of 'knowing' on your face? It'd be nice, thanks."

Then I'm going to Miami for two weeks.

Then moving to Edinburgh to complete an LLM in International Law.

I'm sure it ranks up there with your boss telling you to hand in your keys and have you escorted from the building, declaring that you're not to set foot on the property again - a week after you've given your two week notice.

I enjoyed it at least. It meant one more week of vacation time. And an extra feeling of enjoyment when I later dragged him to court and gave him a thorough legal smackdown! ;)


Then moving to Edinburgh to complete an LLM in International Law.
Ooh, sounds like fun!

Not much. Trying to write, lazing around, procrastinating. And I've decided to give up on having a relationship in high school. (I won't be surprised if a hot new girl moves in, which would be really fucking ironic)

Because I really wanna know. And perhaps my fellow forum stalkers care too. I see you, Vittos the Apathetic! As well as others I haven't seen grace these parts in entirely too long.

What have you all been doing lately? A quick update would be appreciated!

I have absolutely nothing new to report, I am mired in the rut of adulthood.

What is this about you celebrating a divorce?

I been trying to balance my soon to be over relationship with my jobs as a radio DJ and Mascot with my social life and keep comfortable. None of them seem to be working...

And I've decided to give up on having a relationship in high school. (I won't be surprised if a hot new girl moves in, which would be really fucking ironic)

Irony is the grease that keeps the cogs of reality running smoothly.

Currently in a small town near Cueta in the North of Morocco. The Med is nice this time of year.

Due to epic stupidity, mainly on my part, though many others deserve a dishonourable mention, I am stuck on university campus over the holidays for about a month. No-one else I know is here, there's no work available, and my bank balance is heading in an irritating downwards direction, so I'm more or less not eating in order to save money. Win.

I'm sure it ranks up there with your boss telling you to hand in your keys and have you escorted from the building, declaring that you're not to set foot on the property again - a week after you've given your two week notice.

I enjoyed it at least. It meant one more week of vacation time. And an extra feeling of enjoyment when I later dragged him to court and gave him a thorough legal smackdown! ;)

*high fives*


Ooh, sounds like fun!
Here's hoping. It's been a while since I've been in college.

aren't all the new students starting about now?

Irony is the grease that keeps the cogs of reality running smoothly.

I would laugh so hard if that happened though. The irony'd fucking kill me.

whats this I hear about hot underage girls and a tub of grease? :tongue:

I have absolutely nothing new to report, I am mired in the rut of adulthood.

What is this about you celebrating a divorce?

Yeah, I finally split up with the common-law hubby, papers are all done, it's all legal, and I moved into an apartment with the kids about a week and a half ago. Feels pretty freaking good, I have to say!

Also, there need be no rut. Unrut thyself!

You heard nothing. Although, if any hot new girls come to school next year, I'll be happy to transport them to you, greasy tub included.

well that doesn't make you sounds like a rapist killer at all :wink:

Who said anything about raping and killing? There might be abduction involved, but that's about it as far as I know.

how else do you plan on sneaking a tub of grease through customs other than inside a dead body?

Wut? :confused:

I can't spell today but there must be a story worth hearing in that:tongue:

News...got 2:1 all round in my exams (four exams...Criminal, Contract, Tort, and Public/Constitutional Law, my average was 66%). Relatively happy with that, especially considering the work I did for each was no more than a few hours wikipedia-ing the night before the exam.

And THAT is how you survive law school.

Well done Naddy, well done:)

I felt quite bad that my roommate (yeah, I had to share a room in halls, lucky me) went to all the classes, and did hours of work every day all year and she only averaged 54%. I went to no classes after Christmas, and spent most evenings going to a club, a party, just sitting with a few people having a drink, or stoned. She wasn't pleased when I rang her to tell her my results.

A good friend lent me her annotated notes for Crim...a class I basically stopped attended half way through the year. She worked her ass of in that class...and got a C. I used her notes and got an A.

I never told her, and I never will.

My mantra is, and I'm famous for it..."I don't give a fuck". I've managed a high B average with the absolute minimum amount of work, while others literally seem to be killing themselves with studying. I honestly think too much studying is counterproductive.

I could possibly work harder and get straight As. Or, I could keep my sanity, and still sit higher than most people in my classes.

I spent the summer looking for housing and a job and practicing my instruments.

well that doesn't make you sounds like a rapist killer at all :wink:

I'm, like, kidding, dude.

Well, unfortunately, it was not the fun kind of standing on street corners wondering where I was going to sleep. It was the oh crap, what have I gotten myself into, I had an apartment at one point kind of standing on street corners wondering where I was going to sleep. I'm slightly more settled than that now, and if I can make if until August 22, then I definitely have housing until next May. Until then? Couch-jumping.

It's either that or I incapacitate my roommate, as he is the one who made this apartment so miserable I left.

:eek2: no way... that's awesome!

Yes, but very painful. Sort of like trying to give birth in reverse over a long period of time (I imagine).

So, who was it again? Cobbleism?I'm not him. He's he's own admirable, sovereign entity by his own right.

Anyway, I hope everything turns out harmless and alright and just your typical neuroticism. Well, so far i'm not matching anything i'm finding. Could be ischemic stroke, could be the absence of Jhan, could be lumbar spinal stenosis .... only on one side, weirdly enough. And not staying in one place.
Thank you, though. Couldn't be much worse timing for something serious, so i hope it's not.

I don't know but I upgraded it to "°". ;)As in degrees? As in, i may need to nibble on you to determine your caloric value?

Last week I stood on a street corner wondering where I was going to sleep. It's more than a little sobering, really makes you take a good long look at your life.Been there a few times, one time in Portland, one time in Seattle, one time in Anchorage ... a few other times in other cities. Loved it.

Was 14 ....now it is 16......what is to test?
/facepalm
....

You're banging a 16 year old?No, but I had the oppertunity.

But in all seriousness, I ended up backing out of my "sell my soul to the oil companies for a shitload" at the end of which would have resulted in me driving either a (2000-2003) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution or a (1990-1993) Nissan Skyline GT-R and having all my regularly occuring expenses paid to fuck around with my friends and work my grocery store job, which I have come to find out has a surprisingly high /b/tard rate (about 5 of the 20 people in my class are /b/tards).

I guess it is true what they say: money doesn't buy happiness. Poverty does. Well not poverty, but I was paid 5 days ago and have less then $20 to spend. Notheless, life is sweet.

I found out that last semester I failed my first class even though I had one of the top marks on both midterms for that class (ie I really bombed the midterm), which dragged my gpa down to low to transfer departments this year :/ (I really should of tried for that at the end of last semester...). I guess I am going to try to kill myself this semester to drag it back up, because I think I went as far as I could with the whole just wing it approach to school.

As for who I am banging, hopefully a 17 year old before school starts. Which would still be testing people as most think it is either 18, or "none of the cock sucking governments damn fucking business".

I think I hate working on foreign films.

Posi's avatar is freaking me right the fuck out.

Posi's avatar is freaking me right the fuck out.What? Why?

Graduated college in May (B.A. in math) then came back up to Ohio for grad school, planning to go to the beach in September.

I can't believe you missed the chance to go for the "hawt" angle here. You're really getting old and domesticated. :tongue:

Good luck for the doc's appointment today.

Get away from me, kid.

what,i can't be on NSG just because i'm thirteen?

I have a ton of friends who are like that. Except my parents have to see me studying, so I can't get away with that shit. You're not supposed to be nonchalant. :rolleyes:

I know I haven't been here for very long but I recently got my college results and they are the best I could have hoped for.

I was born recently. I expect to die soon.

Graduated BU with a BS in English education
Dad was in a serious motorcycle accident, breaking both legs, on the same weekend that my grandfather had a stroke and died.
Started my job hunt
Traveled back and forth to CT to help out with Gimpy and my grandma
Went to Long Island to party with a bunch of old Germans with my roommate
Continued job hunt
went to Warped Tour for free
Still continue job search.
Got my weight up to 185 (started at 150 when I began my workout routine, so I'm pretty happy)



I hear that Navy basic training is pretty easy, all things considered. I have a good friend thats a Corpsman with the 2nd Marines in Iraq right now, and he definitely gave the impression that it wasn't bad at all.
My cousin went through Navy basic...he said the same thing...it isn't nearly as bad as people prepare you for, as long as you're ready for the discipline aspect.

I'm at Temple, now, in Philly. I'm searching frantically for a place to live, as I've stayed at my parents for over a year now, and I have the funds and friends to live on my own.

I'm studying Arabic. Hopefully I'll graduate before the end of 2009.

The men in my life are still knuckleheads.

I'm looking for a new waitressing job as I don't make enough at my current one.

Thats about it. Nothing too interesting.

what,i can't be on NSG just because i'm thirteen?

No, you just can't be around me. I'm NC-17.

No, you just can't be around me. I'm NC-17.

You're a 17-year old from North Carolina? :eek2:

You're a 17-year old from North Carolina? :eek2:

Yes. Except I'm a fat North Carolinan in my late 30s, penised, living in my grandmother's basement. My keyboard is stained with cheetos.

Well, I learned that due to the paperwork SNAFU that kept me out of BCT this summer, I get to do all thirteen weeks of BCT and AIT in one go a week after I graduate.

Which I really wouldn't mind, except it means I can't go to college the year after I graduate. Joy. I'm going to go active duty for a year and help out my unit as they get back from Iraq (they get back a month or so after I finish my training), and then go to Valley Forge Military College the year after.

Recently, I've just been spending time with my girlfriend and doing my drill weekends with the NG.:)

i've spent some time walking in the hills...trying to get fit again after being ill.
My mind is willing but my body just wants to sit down and forget about moving :D

Yeah, I finally split up with the common-law hubby, papers are all done, it's all legal, and I moved into an apartment with the kids about a week and a half ago. Feels pretty freaking good, I have to say!

Well good to hear it.

Also, there need be no rut. Unrut thyself!

I've been trying with problem drinking and drug use.

EDIT: and easy women.

Vamos, Neesika, es que necesito preguntarlo. Para qué quieres saber qué han estado haciendo los Generalistas de NS? Es obvio. Nada importante.:D

Ay, no seas mala...hay unos aquí que no he visto en mucho tiempo, y de verdad quisíera saber que estaba pasando en sus vidas. Otros, bueno, no me importan, pero a lo mejor, alguién aquí los quiera :D

You never know. Someday LG could be planning to be in your area. That would be important to Know.

You couldn't evacuate unless you had the info...

Bought an old car. Mom died. And now I'm moving. With twelve cats. And twin thirty year old virgins.

I can't believe you missed the chance to go for the "hawt" angle here. You're really getting old and domesticated. :tongue:
You know how you made mention of the "subtle" a while back? :p
It was a little more entendre than usual.

Good luck for the doc's appointment today.Thanks. So far, they expect me to spend $108 on anti-inflammatory drugs that were recently recalled for ... killing people. Pricks.

Era broma, guapa.;)

I'm still in grad school.

When I'm at work, for some reason, I am unable to access random bits of the Jolt forums. Things like the linkback arrow on quotes, the quote and edit buttons, the new thread button and the new post button.

Fortunately, I can still access the "quick post" function, and manually prep quotes...but still, it's weird.

Anybody else experiencing this sort of stuff? Is it the weirdness of my work computer? OK Computer...

Fortunately my home computer is still functional.

Also, I went to a Radiohead concert last night...and I may have done something really frickin' awesome at work today.

Oh, and MPAness begins in...forty-five days.

I'm currently over the bf's house, taking care of him. He was in a motorcycle accident a week and a half ago, and shattered his right leg (his femur, to be more specific).

We purchased a house out in Ortonville, MI (middle of nowhere) and are in the process of fixing it up completely.

Not much else really, I guess.

Oooouuuuch. *cringes*

Well ... I just came back to NSG after about a year of being clean. I'm not really sure why; I still have a fairly busy life, working 9-5 all summer so I can continue going to school.

Amazing how much this place has changed ... avatars? Srsly?

Those are pretty recent, actually, within the last week.

I'm still in grad school.

Still? Good grief, it's not brain surgery...

I haven't done much of anything for the past month and a half since school (and hence, my job) ended except draw, read poetry, get stoned and loiter around NSG. I had a brief quarter-life crisis where I thought maybe I wanted to stop being a teacher (after a whole six months) and return to being a starving writer, but I took deep breaths and talked to my fellow starving-artist friends until the feeling went away.

I'm as lazy as ever.

Bring the boy over. He and my dad can be crippled together.

Har har.

Wise ass.
